Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), a layered material similar to graphite, is a promising dielectric. Monolayer h-BN, so-called hite graphene, has been isolated from bulk BN and could be useful as a complementary two-dimensional dielectric substrate for graphene electronics. Here we report the large area synthesis of h-BN films consisting of two to five atomic layers, using chemical vapor deposition. These atomic films show a large optical energy band gap of 5.5 eV and are highly transparent over a broad wavelength range. The mechanical properties of the h-BN films, measured by nanoindentation, show 2D elastic modulus in the range of 200-500 N/m, which is corroborated by corresponding theoretical calculations. © 2010 American Chemical Society.
Lammer, H., Odert, P., Leitzinger, M., Khodachenko, M.L., Panchenko, M., Kulikov, Y.N., Zhang, T.L., et al. (2009), "Determining the mass loss limit for close-in exoplanets: What can we learn from transit observations?", Astronomy and Astrophysics, Vol. 506 No. 1
Aims. We study the possible atmospheric mass loss from 57 known transiting exoplanets around F, G, K, and M-type stars over evolutionary timescales. For stellar wind induced mass loss studies, we estimate the position of the pressure balance boundary between Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and stellar wind ram pressures and the planetary ionosphere pressure for non- or weakly magnetized gas giants at close orbits. Methods. The thermal mass loss of atomic hydrogen is calculated by a mass loss equation where we consider a realistic heating efficiency, a radius-scaling law and a mass loss enhancement factor due to stellar tidal forces. The model takes into account the temporal evolution of the stellar EUV flux by applying power laws for F, G, K, and M-type stars. The planetary ionopause obstacle, which is an important factor for ion pick-up escape from non- or weakly magnetized gas giants is estimated by applying empirical power-laws. Results. By assuming a realistic heating efficiency of about 10.25% we found that WASP-12b may have lost about 6.12% of its mass during its lifetime. A few transiting low density gas giants at similar orbital location, like WASP-13b, WASP-15b, CoRoT-1b or CoRoT-5b may have lost up to 1.4% of their initial mass. All other transiting exoplanets in our sample experience negligible thermal loss (≤1%) during their lifetime. We found that the ionospheric pressure can balance the impinging dense stellar wind and average CME plasma flows at distances which are above the visual radius of "Hot Jupiters", resulting in mass losses <2% over evolutionary timescales. The ram pressure of fast CMEs cannot be balanced by the ionospheric plasma pressure for orbital distances between 0.02.0.1 AU. Therefore, collisions of fast CMEs with hot gas giants should result in large atmospheric losses which may influence the mass evolution of gas giants with masses <MJup. Depending on the stellar luminosity spectral type, planetary density, heating efficiency, orbital distance, and the related Roche lobe effect, we expect that at distances between 0.015.0.02 AU, Jupiter-class and sub-Jupiter-class exoplanets can lose several percent of their initial mass. At orbital distances ≤0.015 AU, low density hot gas giants in orbits around solar type stars may even evaporate down to their coresize, while low density Neptune-class objects can lose their hydrogen envelopes at orbital distances ≤0.02 AU. © 2009 ESO.

In their Letter, Mann and colleagues1 claim to have identified a discrepancy between the degree of volcanic cooling in climate model simulations and the analogous cooling indicated in a tree-ring-based Northern Hemisphere temperature reconstruction2, and attribute it to a putative temporary cessation of tree growth at some sites near the temperature limit for growth. They argue that this growth cessation would lead to missing rings in cool years, thus resulting in underestimation of cooling in the tree-ring record. This suggestion implies that periods of volcanic cooling could result in widespread chronological errors in tree-ring-based temperature reconstructions1, 3. Mann and colleagues base their conclusions solely on the evidence of a tree-ring-growth model. Here we point to several factors that challenge this hypothesis of missing tree rings; specifically, we highlight problems in their implementation of the tree-ring model used1, a lack of consideration of uncertainty in the amplitude and spatial pattern of volcanic forcing and associated climate responses, and a lack of any empirical evidence for misdating of tree-ring chronologies.
Dolman, A.J., Shvidenko, A., Schepaschenko, D., Ciais, P., Tchebakova, N., Chen, T., Van Der Molen, M.K., et al. (2012), "An estimate of the terrestrial carbon budget of Russia using inventory-based, eddy covariance and inversion methods", Biogeosciences, Vol. 9 No. 12
We determine the net land to atmosphere flux of carbon in Russia, including Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, using inventory-based, eddy covariance, and inversion methods. Our high boundary estimate is-342 Tg C yr-1 from the eddy covariance method, and this is close to the upper bounds of the inventory-based Land Ecosystem Assessment and inverse models estimates. A lower boundary estimate is provided at-1350 Tg C yr-1 from the inversion models. The average of the three methods is-613.5 Tg C yr-1. The methane emission is estimated separately at 41.4 Tg C yr-1. These three methods agree well within their respective error bounds. There is thus good consistency between bottom-up and top-down methods. The forests of Russia primarily cause the net atmosphere to land flux (-692 Tg C yr-1 from the LEA. It remains however remarkable that the three methods provide such close estimates (-615,-662,-554 Tg C yr–1) for net biome production (NBP), given the inherent uncertainties in all of the approaches. The lack of recent forest inventories, the few eddy covariance sites and associated uncertainty with upscaling and undersampling of concentrations for the inversions are among the prime causes of the uncertainty. The dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) suggest a much lower uptake at-91 Tg C yr-1, and we argue that this is caused by a high estimate of heterotrophic respiration compared to other methods. © 2013 Author(s).
Büntgen, U., Myglan, V.S., Ljungqvist, F.C., McCormick, M., Di Cosmo, N., Sigl, M., Jungclaus, J., et al. (2016), "Cooling and societal change during the Late Antique Little Ice Age from 536 to around 660 AD", Nature Geoscience, Vol. 9 No. 3
Climatic changes during the first half of the Common Era have been suggested to play a role in societal reorganizations in Europe and Asia. In particular, the sixth century coincides with rising and falling civilizations, pandemics, human migration and political turmoil. Our understanding of the magnitude and spatial extent as well as the possible causes and concurrences of climate change during this period is, however, still limited. Here we use tree-ring chronologies from the Russian Altai and European Alps to reconstruct summer temperatures over the past two millennia. We find an unprecedented, long-lasting and spatially synchronized cooling following a cluster of large volcanic eruptions in 536, 540 and 547 AD (ref.), which was probably sustained by ocean and sea-ice feedbacks, as well as a solar minimum. We thus identify the interval from 536 to about 660 AD as the Late Antique Little Ice Age. Spanning most of the Northern Hemisphere, we suggest that this cold phase be considered as an additional environmental factor contributing to the establishment of the Justinian plague, transformation of the eastern Roman Empire and collapse of the Sasanian Empire, movements out of the Asian steppe and Arabian Peninsula, spread of Slavic-speaking peoples and political upheavals in China. © 2016 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Ponomarenko, I.V., Glaznev, I.S., Gubar, A.V., Aristov, Y.I. and Kirik, S.D. (2010), "Synthesis and water sorption properties of a new composite 'CaCl2 confined into SBA-15 pores'", Microporous and Mesoporous Materials, Vol. 129 No. 1–2
The composite CaCl2@SBA-15 with the mass ratio Ca/Si = 0.58 has been synthesized via impregnation of nano-structured mesoporous silica SBA-15 with saturated aqueous solution of calcium chloride. The material was studied by methods of X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, infrared spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption and thermal analysis. It was shown that calcium chloride is located basically in the pores of silica. The isotherms and kinetics curves of water ad/desorption were measured at temperature 50 °C and vapor pressure range from 0 to 50 mbar. A small hysteresis was observed for the formation di- and tetra-hydrates of CaCl2 in the pores. The equilibrium pressure over the dispersed CaCl2 dihydrate was found to be 2.5-4 times lower relative to the bulk one, allowing a significant improvement of the salt desiccative properties. The possible reasons of this pressure decrease might be the higher mobility of water in the dispersed dihydrate and/or the increase in the surface energy of the salt (hydrate) confined to the SBA pores. The latter effect is a reason of the melting point depression for dispersed hydrates CaCl2·nH2O with n = 2, 4 and 6 that was revealed by DSC tests. The effective water diffusivity in SBA pores has been determined. The Knudsen diffusion in the SBA mesopores was found to be a rate-limiting stage of water sorption on CaCl2@SBA-15. The equilibrium sorption curves for the new composite were compared with other composite sorbents "CaCl2 in porous matrix". Several possible applications of the new sorbent, among which are the gas drying, heat storage and adsorptive heat pumps, were preliminary evaluated. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
